Virginia. Don't have anything to do

CONGRESSMAN GIBSON, of this State,
had quite row with the officials of the
Postoffice Department in Washington
the other day. He wanted one of his
constituents, a Democrat, promoted.
Mr.. Smith, a Republican, who has
charge Of such appointments, insolently
told Mr.. Gibson that the man should
not be promoted unless he Was an ex-
Union soldier. Mr.. Gibson thereupon
waited upon Postmaster General Villas,
and asked II that was rule of the De-
partment. Mr.. Villas refused to give
him any more satisfaction than the Re.
publican had, and snubbed him short.
Mr.. Gibson then gave his opinion Of
Mugwumps in general and Mr.. Villas in
particular, and left the building.

Of howl about Senator Camden's money
and charged that he had used 1t to help
him In his contest for the Senate. U.s.
ing money for this purpose, they
thought, was diabolical. And yet the
chief Of the kickers, Mr.. Lucas, when
cornered by Mr.. Kidd in the Legislature
a few days ago, acknowledged that he
had used money In his candidacy for
Congress couple of years ago. This
was the acknowledgment:
Mr.. Kdd-I would like to ask the gentle

Kate Chase at Home.

Washington society sees but little of
Mrs. Chase, says a New York Mail
and Express letter. She is some dis
tance out of town, although from her
library windows the dome of the cap
itol can be seen looming up a mile
away. She has the saving adabtability
of all people of sense. She is inter-
ested in her gardening and in her
daughters education. She rides and
drives and fills up life that would
seem singularly empty. She makes
no apology or explanation OF her
altered style of living. Probably she
inherits her fathers incapacity for
moneyed affairs. Whatever might
have been said of her, the invincible
courage she has shown in misfortune
commands respect. The old house is
full of relics of splendor. Some of
the finest carved mahogany in this
country is in the big, gloomy dining
room. A mirror over the fireplace
has frame that would put everything
at Sypher's to shame, and sideboard,
a buffet, and a great carved sofa,
brought from Italy, are fit for a
palace. In the hall is an ancient
carved marriage chest that is bewitch-
ny to a lover of antiquities. Every
where shabbiness and splendpf go
hand in hand, but the shabbiness is
not vulgar nor is the splendor obtru-
sive. 1t would be brave to rashness
for one to pity Mrs. Chase for her sur
roundings, or for anything else about
her. She makes certain fitness and
seemliness for herself out of it all

Gladstone's Physical Strength.

To return moment to Mr.. Glad
stone. A medical gentleman who
knows him very well-professionally,
too, if l am not mistaken-tells me
that he is still one of the strongest
men physically in the whole gentry of
England. 1t is marvellous thing to
see him stripped to the waist, SO su-
perb is his frame, so notable IS the
absence of an ounce of superfous
flesh on the hard sinews and muscles.
My informant added that, in his be-
lief, there was scarcely a man in the
House, young or old, whom Gladstone
could not whip with his fists if he
tried. This is an interesting illustra-
ton of the value of exercise which
Americans would do well to ponder

A Pretty Waitress CriminalIy Assault
ed by a Young Man.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., June GA das-
tardIy assault was made 10y Charles
Corners. a young man of 2T-upOn
Miss Maggie Sheridan. pretty little
waitress at the Todd house. this city.
COnnOrs had invited Miss Sheridan To
a dance at Brand Muelier's garden near
Brier Hill and they Were returning To
the city at an early hour this morning.
When passing through a rdviue, Sc
cluded and at little distance from the
outskirts of the city, COnners assaulted
Miss Sheridan, she refusing to accede
to his desires. Grasping the girl by the
waist COnners threw her to the ground
and a desperate struggle ensued, the
girl scratching, biting and screaming.
Connors pulled silk. handkerchief
from his pocket and stuffed it in the
girls mouth and again attempted to
accomplish his purpose. Seeing that
the girl was choking, and fearing lest
he would strangle her to death, he re-
moved the handkerchief from her
mouth. Having use of her voice once
more, Miss Sheridan screamed out
20, for 6od's sake stop; you are killing
4 .fhe. Fer Gad's sake don't kill me!'
Her screams attracted the attention OF
two men on the road, who fastened in
the direction of the sounds. COnnOrs
took to his heels and fed, cursing the
men who had interrupted him. Miss
Sheridan was rescued and taken to heI
home at Westlake's Crossing, where
Conner's also resides. When last seen
Conners was in buggy driving furi.
ously in the direction of his home. OF.
ficers are in pursuit. This afternoon
Miss Sheridan, accompanied by hel
mother, went to Notary Frank Jacobs
Office, where the warrant was sworn
out for COnner's arrest Miss Sheridan
said COnner's did not succeed in his at.
tempt, but her torn and bloody gar
ments would seem to impeach this
statement. Conners had not been ar
rested at dark tonight and it is feared
he may escape.

In regard to the Plumed knights
heartless disregard of the death of his
brother, an article recently appeared in
the Hot Springs (Ark.) Ne,Os, whose
editor interviewed the wife and son of
Mr.. Blaine's brother. The bereaved
widow expressed her chagrin and sur
prise that Mr.. Blaine had seemed so
heartless as to refuse to give up receipt
ion to be rendered him by some men in
Chicago to attend at the bedside of a
dying brother, and while the soul of her
husband took its flight, he was banquet
ing and feasting with delegation of
politicians. She also confessed in
shame and humiliation that he had
not even noticed the kilograms
announcing the dying condition and
then death of his brother to respond
with single message of solace or re-
gret. We will endeavor to publish this
interview for the benefit of our readers,
and to show how the moral and nobler
parts of az mans best nature may be-
come wrapped and swallowed up in u
heartleAs desire for personal aggradize-
ment and political standing. A man
who could decline to attend his moth
er's funeral because she was buried by
the holy rites of the Catholic church,
and a man who declined to attend or
notice the death of a brother, even by
sending a message of consolation to- his
stricken family, is too heartless ever to
inspire this American people with re-
spect enough to hoist him into the high
executive chair of the nation.
